A readable copy of the book which may include some defects such as highlighting and notes. Together they create a strange and vulnerable alliance against evil.

An extensive preface and history of its publication has been added by the author. The book has been rereleased on its 20th anniversary. Carrion comfort is one of his earliest books. Ranged against them are a handful of normals: Saul Laski, psychologist and concentration camp survivor, who has devoted his life to tracking down the Nazi vampire von Borchert Natalie Preston, whose father inadvertently and fatally crossed the path of the ancient and deadly Melanie Sheriff Bobby Joe Gentry, dragged in while investigating a series of bizarre murders. Dan Simmons is an award winning writer of sf and horror. But this year something goes wrong and they, and their innocent victims, are plunged into a struggle that will determine the future of the world itself. Each year three of them, Melanie, Willi, and Nina, meet to discuss their on-going competition of vampirism and slaughter. Carrion Comfort, Dan Simmons second novel, can be faulted for being overly long, needlessly complex and in dire need of a talented editor. They are 'mind vampires' - creatures with the psychic ability to 'use' humans: read their minds, subjugate them to their wills, experience through their senses, feed off their emotions, force them to acts of unspeakable violence.
